Baseball, Ronchi and Cervignano share the derby

Draw in the derby bisiaco / friulano. They start with a win each i New Black Panthers Ronchi dei Legionari e i Tigers Cervignano.

The afternoon match started 45 minutes late because the pitch had to be fixed due to the violent downpour of the morning.

As usual, the first ball of the match and the championship was thrown by the Ronchi dei Legionari sports councilor, Erika Battistella, then we officially started. A first match dominated by pitchers and defenses, so much so that only 6 valid were beaten (4 for Ronchi and 2 for Cervignano).

To decide game one was a solid base on ball won in the lower part of the eighth inning from Mario Miceu: 1-0 the final score for Ronchi.

The “black panthers” landlord thank the dominant departure of Francesco Nardi (7RL, 1BV, 3BB, 6SO). On the other side he launches an old Ronchese acquaintance: Davide Bertoldi, which performs just as well (6 IP, 3 valid, 2 Basi ball, 5 SO). A match 1 held in a draw with few opportunities for attacks, up to the eighth inning, when the Cervignano relief pitcher, Della Silvestra, grants the base on ball to Mario Miceu with full bases, thus forcing the point. The pitcher closes the further ambitions Abreuwhile for Ronchi Simone Bazzarini masterfully holds off the host attack in the last two innings. In attack for Ronchi well Luca Furlani with 2/4, Marco Furlani with 1/3 and Stefano Berini 1/3.

The second game takes place in the cold evening. The Venezuelan southpaw makes his debut for the local mound Hector Rodriguez, which despite the limitations of the preparation still not at its best and the atmospheric inclemency not usual for him, shows good things (3.1 IP, 2 Valide, 3 Basi ball, 8 SW). Cervignano responds with Jimenz Eliawho will ultimately be the winning pitcher (7 IPs, 2 valid, 6 bases, 12 SOs).

The first inning sees the two pitchers still cold who concede something too much to the opponent’s attack, in fact Ronchi peremptorily passes forward by three to one.

For three rounds, substantial equity is maintained with the pitchers performing their task properly.

In the fourth period Cervignano approaches by one point. But the turning point comes in the fifth, when the launcher of local relief Marco Pizzolini fails to contain the opponents batters and, thanks to some mistakes of the defense, Cervignano gets five points.

Ronchi fails to react and only towards the end of the game does he have a shot of pride on the Friulian relief Gonzales but without forfeiting points. To note the debut in Serie A of the very young pitcher Diego Gergolet for Ronchi, who behaved very well. They also climbed the mound Marco Stabilewho suffered the eighth point of the Tigers, and Pietro Stabileas always, a belated security.

Eventually the guests win the ante 8-3.

An undoubtedly interlocutory departure for Ronchi, the victim of not yet sufficient preparation and, especially in the second game, extremely nervous for approximate referees judgments. There will be work in these terms for the staff of the manager Furlani in view of the next trip to Collecchio.
